Brown jasmine rice is a type of long-grain aromatic rice, native to and grown mainly in Thailand. It is known for its delicate aroma reminiscent of jasmine flowers when cooked and is a very popular non-glutinous rice. Rice is suitable for a wide variety of dishes, such as curries and hash browns, and as a side dish to accompany fish and poultry dishes. Jasmine rice is the most popular rice variety in Thailand and while most Thais prefer white jasmine rice, brown jasmine rice is gradually gaining popularity due to the higher nutritional benefits of brown rice over white rice.
Rice is classified as a grain of wheat, and most of the rice grown and consumed in the world belongs to the species Oryza sativa or Asian rice, although a closely related species, African rice, is widely cultivated. Rice is the second most abundant cereal crop in the world after maize and is the staple food of billions of people. Thousands of rice varieties have been developed over thousands of years of rice farming, and many countries and regions have their own special varieties. Thailand is where jasmine rice originated, and most of the jasmine rice produced each year is grown there, although it is produced in smaller quantities in other countries, such as the United States.
Like other rice varieties, jasmine rice is commonly milled, washed and polished, producing the bright white grains familiar to most people. This removes the inner hull, or bran, of the rice grain and causes brown rice to lose many of the nutrients and fiber. Jasmine brown rice is brown jasmine rice that has not been subjected to the final stages of grinding and polishing and which retains the inner hull coating, or bran, giving it a rich, nutty brown color.
Brown rice tends to be a bit chewier than milled rice. It also typically takes longer to cook. Brown rice is also much more nutritious than white rice of the same variety, containing more vitamins, fiber and other nutrients. Recent studies have also suggested that consuming brown rice instead of white rice reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. In addition to the increased nutritional benefit, jasmine brown rice has a richer, slightly sweet and nutty flavor while maintaining the aroma of white jasmine rice.
